The fact that you are not trying to seel them says a lot. I don't know why someone woud try to see something they got for free. I can't seem to think of an idea for a contest...at least not one that I would have a chance at winning and I would love to stack the deck in my favor.

I have 5 of them and want to be fair. I don't want to say first come first serve, because of time zone differences and the times that people can be on the computer.

I would like to get some ideas on how I can give them away in a fair manner.

That's a good question. And you're right, it would be better than first come first serve due to everyone's varying schedules.

As far as ideas go, that's a different story. I can't think of any GREAT ideas. Maybe just something simple like a short paragraph about "Why do you want to use Google Voice" or maybe even simpler like who has the 5 coolest avatars? (I'd vote for me on that last one, by the way. )

1. have people write a song about the Incredible and/or GV
2. have people write a poem about the Incredible and/or GV
3. have people submit an MS Paint drawing that has something to do with the Incredible and/or GV

Go through the Incredible users manual that was leaked here, and put together some relevant (but reasonably obscure) questions that are specific to the functionality of the device that we all seem to care so much about. The first 20 people who PM you correct answers to all of the questions get their names put in the hat, and five of them walk away with GV invites.

I have to admit that I like Dex's idea. It seems like the most fair, and doesn't rely on the ability to search a manual or answer random questions.

It's like the lotto, and I found a great website: random.org, to pick the numbers.

I've been drinking tonight, so i don't know if I can hold out the contest much longer. It might just be that I start a post where people choose numbers and then use the above website to pick random numbers.
